Before we continue we need to set the printer to a static IP address in the network range of your SBS. In this example our network is the 192.168.10.x range and we choose to set the printer to 192.168.10.7. You can also define an exception in the DCHP scope and put the printers in that range.

 

Double click Printers and Faxes

Windows is very smart and already detected that it is a printer with a Jet Direct card. Click finish.

 

 

In our case we have to add a HP Laserjet 2000.

 

 

Choose a name for your printer. It makes sense to use names like Accounting or Sales...

 

 

Choose a Share name for your printer.

 

 

Fill whatever you feel is correct..

 

 

I always choose not to print a test page, I do that later after I set all the printer options.
